Based on the famous sound of a Fender SF1 this discontinued overdrive is gonna color your sound in classic tone!
Who would' thought one knob could coax a myriad of tones like gently gritty cleans to honking, mid-heavy blown out distortion. Unlike most amp-in-a-box devices, the Formula 51 features a preamp, a discrete power amp simulator and an output transformer to deliver the full touch-sensitive Tweed experience, with a grip of extremely interactive controls.
- The Sag control loads down the transformer to your taste, giving you some real-deal blown-out leads with the twist of a knob.
- The Tone control is straight out of the vintage amplifier playbook, incorporating the mid scoop control of the Framus Cobra amp. This time-tested mod essentially turns the mid-leaning Tweed profile into the mid-scooped “blackface” sound of later Champs. Run it at 18V for more headroom or stack it with other pedals to really dig into that transformer!
